Liverpool are linked with Virgil Van Dijk on Monday and Southampton are linked with Daniel Sturridge on Tuesday…

On Wednesday? SWAP DEAL!

There’s no indication either transfer rumour has any truth in it in the first place, but this hasn’t stopped a hypothetical Twitter debate ensuing regarding whether as a Liverpool fan you’d accept a straight swap between the Dutch centre-back and our currently benched forward.

Fans are polarised, but we’d suggest the sensible ones are having absolutely none of it. Sturridge is a proven, top quality striker who scores goals every single time he gets a run in the side. We’ll need him this season; the fact he’s currently a sub is irrelevant considering the number of games coming up.

If we want to go for the defender, fine – but not at the expense of Sturridge.
